A review of Proper West in Midtown Manhattan

Located just a few blocks north of Herald Square, at 54 W. 39th Street, Proper West is another upscale sports bar for Manhattan! If the spot feels familiar, it’s because this place used to be EVR. Gone is the DJ booth and the lounge-like seating in back and on the second level. Seating in those areas are standard tables for two or booth-style seating. The bar area is similar to what it was at EVR (except for the larger TV screens over the bar). And, like EVR before it, Proper West attracts the after-work crowd. A 12-tap system offers mostly quality beers. Other standard beers available by bottle. Proper West is worth a visit if you work/live nearby.
